DEPARTMENT  OF  HOME  ECONOMICS 

A thorough  course  in  Home  Economics,  covering  two  years, 
is  offered.  New  laboratories  and  class  rooms,  especially  de- 
signed and  equipped  for  this  work,  are  provided  and  instruc- 
tion given  by  expert  and  experienced  teachers. 

In  addition  to  the  general  equipment,  each  student  is  pro- 
vided with  all  necessary  apparatus,  including  gas  stove,  oven, 
etc.,  for  her  individual  use. 

The  course  of  study  is  planned  to  meet  the  needs  of  two 
classes:  First,  students  who  wish  to  specialize  in  these  sub- 
jects, with  a view  to  teaching  the  same,  or  for  other  practical 
advantages  that  may  be  obtained.  High  school  graduates  and 
those  having  the  equivalent  of  high  school  training  may  enter 
as  candidates  for  the  certificate  in  Home  Economics.  Students 
taking  the  complete  course  in  Home  Economics  are  required  to 
teach  during  their  second  year.  Practice  teaching  rooms  are 
equipped,  and  regular  classes  consisting  of  pupils  from  the  In- 
termediate Department  are  conducted  by  the  students,  under 
the  supervision  of  the  critic  teacher. 

Second,  the  course  is  intended  for  students  in  other  de- 
partments who  desire  instruction  in  these  subjects,  as  a part 
of  a general  education.
